Retail outlets at Colombo City Centre, Sri Lanka’s trendiest shopping mall, have been powered by Point-of-Sale (POS) machines supplied by Commercial Bank of Ceylon, the country’s largest private bank.

Nearly 50 POS machines have already been installed at tenant stores including DSI Footwear, Food Studio, Abans, Abans Elite, McDonald’s, Living Colours, Abans Apple 1, and Nature’s Beauty Creation Ltd, the Bank said.

As a result, holders of credit and debit cards issued by Commercial Bank enjoy a host of benefits when they shop at the Colombo City Centre mall, including Easy Payment Plans, COMDEALS discounts and regular discounts at selected outlets all year around. They will also be able to earn Max Loyalty Rewards points when they pay for their purchases.

Additionally, diners who patronise the China Street Food, Fresh Intention by Roots, Grub Singapore, Isle of Gelato, Jagro, Midah Sisters, Okra Kitchen, Punch, Teafarer, The Little Prince, Mango Tree, Tokyo Shokudo, Shiok and Sumatran Spice restaurants at the atrium ‘Food Studio’ would be entitled to discounts of 20% on payments by credit card and 10% by debit card on every week day till 20 December, the bank said.

Commercial Bank credit and debit cards offer year-round promotions covering a wide variety of services. Commercial Bank was the first bank to offer loyalty rewards points for both credit and debit cardholders under its Max Loyalty Rewards Points scheme. The bank was also a pioneer in extending promotional discount offers, which were traditionally only offered for credit cards to its debit cards.

Commercial Bank cards are the fastest growing cards in Sri Lanka and enjoy market leadership in credit and debit card cumulative point-of-sale usage. The bank offers a variety of credit cards in the Classic, Gold and Platinum tiers of both Visa and Mastercard as well as Visa Signature, World Mastercard and Visa Infinite cards in the premium segment. The cards are equipped with ‘Tap n Go’ NFC technology and are backed by a strong NFC Point-of-Sale (POS) network.

The bank has won more than 30 international and local awards in 2016 and 2017 and 20 international awards in the first eight months of 2018.
